Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立中央大學 === 物理學系 === 86 === Wave-breaking events create bubbly layers at the ocean surface. These layers act as a waveguide for sound propagation in the audio frequency range.Experiments show that acoustic propagation in such a waveguide occurs in distinctfrequency bands. We use the dispersive and exponential sound speed profile to investigate the sound propagation. The theoretical results are in good agreementwith the observations. It is found that the frequency bands are due to normal modepropagation. The number of normal modes is shown to correspond to the number of discrete acoustic bands. The theoretical results are also compared to thenondispersive-exponential profile and inverse-square profile which have beenstudied in the past.
